Strabismus is a subject that has always been looked with awe and fear due to its complexity. But the problems of binocular vision and ocular motility are the most common to be confronted by the ophthalmologist. Next to cataract surgery, squint surgery is the most common surgery performed by ophthalmic practitioners. There are far fewer facts to memories by rote compared to other specialties. It is more or less like mathematics, which serves all our life, provided we comprehend it. The attempt of this book is to simplify strabismus, demystify the myths surrounding it and make strabismus understood. This edition features a thorough revision of text, profusion of images, and full colour diagrams and clinical pictures. Also included is a CD containing the videos of important surgical procedures on horizontal rectus and the oblique muscles.
